Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2012-08-27 17:39:26 UTC 
It's probably broken because new portage doesn't install the /etc/make.globals symlink. It should be fixed to use /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals directly. As a temporary workaround, you can do this:

  ln -s /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals /etc/make.globals
